Edit: I've cross-posted this for Groovekiller. Lower in this thread you'll see he's got a Grafton (not silver plate, tho) for sale. I return you to the thread already in progress.
===========
I've written a bit about the Grafton and have done a good deal of research on them. They're noteworthy because they were the first plastic saxophones. However, they weren't all plastic: the neck, keywork and some trim was copper.
Then, our good friend Quinn comes up with this one. Where you had copper, you've now got silver. He says it's original. I'm not sure. It looks really good, though.
What do y'all think? I know that the Grafton is a pain to disassemble, but to disassemble the entire horn and the trim to replate silver? That'd be a pretty mammoth job, right?
